Between the parking lot and the trail head, Enza restaurant offers snacks and refreshments throughout the year. There is no food allowed in the monkey park, so eat or drink here first before or after your walk to the park.
The gift shop next to the trail head offers luggage storage for ¥500 per item. During winter, they also offer shoe and clothing rental to counter the conditions.
